"First
of all, fantastic work. This disk is a veritable
treasure trove of fun stuff!!! There is so
much here, and there is so much value. Congratulations
on a job very well done. All in all the disk is incredible.
Extremely useful, fun, and different. I'm thinking Kold,
baby."

Go here to check it out!

Ice
Kold is in use in professional and home studios all over the world.
Germany, England,
Hong Kong, Sweden, France, Korea, Australia, China, Canada, Belgium, Ireland,
The Netherlands, Greece, Italy, New Zealand, and Brazil, the USA and many
more. It's the 'secret weapon' in many a samplist's arsenal of sounds. Recently
some of the Ice Kold Sounds can be heard on MTV. The pros around the planet
know--this set is Kold!

You
won't find it anywhere else on the web. This is the ONLY place you
can buy it. And its always in stock.

The process:
It starts with a hand tweaked waveform on the MS-20, connected and recording
into Sound Forge. I'll set up a patch and play several notes.
In the waveform editor, I'll choose the best, the cleanest, the one with
the most character. I'll trim and loop the sample, then I'll add some
processing (if necessary) and then a name, then send it on via SCSI to the
sampler. There it is mapped to the keys and filters. My ESI
has the turbo option so i have a wide variety of filters to choose from.Then its on to the envelopes and the controllers.
I took liberty to resample some sounds, and also sample myself playing chords
and stacks. Some samples don't sound like a typical analog synth playing
one note, like my Noiz "Orch" HiT, but I guarantee, its source is the Korg
MS-20. Imagine an MS20 with 32 or 64 note polyphony, layering capability
and the ability to define zones with a different filter on each note if
you want. That's what you get when you buy my project, an incredible
synth that doesn't exist anywhere but here!

A big 32 meg
bank with 381 refined samples in a full bank of 256 Presets carefully
programmed and mapped to controllers, wheels and velocity. Ready for your
sequencing pleasure. There's Synth Drum Kits you have never heard
before, FX Kits, Noiz Kits. The kits are defined by the Roland standard (Kiks
at B0, C1, Snare at D1, Rim shot at C#1, Toms at F1, G1, A1, Hats at F#, G#
and A#, etc), so you can use your standard sequencer grids to make your grooves.
Transpose an octave or two can you get another kit, just like they are set in
popular modules like the Phatt and Orbit. Big Fat Filter Basses, leads,
synthy voxy things, syncing things, vowel tones, pads, drones. . All the
standards you expect in analog and everything you didn't know analog
could do, like machinery, factory whistles, freight elevators, engine noises,
giant pistons, computer blerps, sonar, whip cracks, Morse code, interstellar
radiation, screaming theremins, even a guy falling off a platform into a vat
of bubbling acid. This is ICE KOLD, gentlemen and ladies, and for those with
an authentic INDUSTRIAL imagination. Oh Yeah, and I don't just define
48 or 61 keys like some "pros" do in a key map. (heh, there is one CDROM
I've heard that defines only ONE NOTE in a preset making your dial wear out
trying to find sounds, forcing you to reprogram everything and it costs 5 times
what my disk costs!) I give you a full 88 keys in my kits and presets.
When my samples get thin around the edges, I slap another one down to maximize
your MIDI channel economy. When you want a kit, you don't want to hunt through
presets to find that right group of sounds. You want them THERE. In mine you
will find 88 sounds ready to blast together, the way it should be, and the way
it IS on Ice Kold T.

Added in version
2.0: "Keys and Pads" contain powerful cinematic washes ready
for theater "Original Filters" capture the MS20's many different
filter effects in the raw. "MS20 Performances" are very looooong
samples of real-time knob twists. I even ran some of my songs and vocal
hooks through the MS-20's External Signal processor for some really
weird uh.."voices" <smile> (Don't tell my lady friends, OK?) Finally,
you get a unique 12 meg sampled electric guitar--filtered and dithered
in the MS20.

Added in
Version 3.0 is an EOS Native
version of the classic 32 meg 255 preset Master Bank,
retweaked with cords, controllers and EOS filters, an 8 meg demo of
Celestial Windowpane Loops (fully useable
by all formats), and and EOS native 7 meg demo of
Post Indie. If
you currently own ANY version of Ice Kold Tekno you may email me to get a special
upgrade price

A 3-part demo
song sampled at 44.1 you can hack up and create hundreds more contorted
noises. Take a little multi-timbral slice to spice your industrial life.

The sounds have
are tailored for the following genre's of music: Tekno, Ambient, Dance,
Sci-Fi, Industrial, World, Space, Classical, Vintage Emulations.

The banks can
be seen as a programmers toolkitfor exploring the new synthesis
qualities of your sampler. It has everything you need to make any analog
sound you want. That's why I made up the "Drum & Bass Bank". All your
basics are there, you just do the "Load Preset thing" to add to the bank as
your song takes form.

With these
banks in your sampler, your sound will be unique, hip, different, retro,
lo-fi and on the cutting edge. It really blends nicely with tamer synths
and modules. The distorted, grungy and cheesy, wheezy filtery dirt
in these banks will be a stark contrast to anything else you have running,
Dirt recorded at 44.1? Yep!

There are
a tremendous variety of sound effects for video and film projects.
Particularly suited for "futuristic" and sci-fi flicks.

No copyright
hassle. Purchase of the CD ROM from me gives you a license to
use these sounds in your personal and commercial projects as you see fit.
I hope you make a hit with them. You may transfer the license if you want
to sell it to someone else. You may make a personal copy of the disk.
You may NOT copy the disk to sell it. You may NOT upload the banks to a
website or give away copies of the disk. That should be obvious. Just
be cool and don't rip me off.

What
you get when you buy this CD-RomSampling is one thing. Programming is another.
And then there is "Attitude". With
me you get all three. Programming a synth takes time to learn, and is something
you have to love. I've been doing it since the first synth did sysex.
And before that, I was tweaking the knobs. That's why this project is
important to me. Its like a summation of everything I've learned about
synth programming and sampling.

First, why get
this CD-ROM? Well the benefits are large. You don't have to do the
sampling, looping, naming, or anything else. You just load and go, all
the work is done. Its like turning your sampler into a new synth, every
time you load a new disk. With Emu samplers, you get samples and presets predefined.
You can load the whole bank if you want, or just the presets you want into your
existing bank. (When you load a preset, the samples "attached" load also).
Or if you want you can load individual samples straight of the CD-ROM and map
and filter them yourself.

The main feature
of the CD Rom is its 32 meg banks. There are 381 hand picked and tweaked
samples in this bank that cover a tremendous sonic territory. There are
256 presets. With these samples as a source, you have the material to
make thousands of analog sounding presets. From basic waveforms to Korg
MS-20 Signature sounds, I have you covered. This is far more than a typical
"vintage" collection of sounds. You simply must hear these analog waves
run through state of the art filters and stacked with 32-128 note polyphony.
The combination of old technology and new will out-color any sonic palette
out there. You haven't heard sounds like these before. You won't find
some waveforms as I've included in your standard midi module and even your analog
modeling synth will not be able to reproduce the grittyness, the warmth, the
richness and texture that Ice Kold Tekno provides.

Only have a
2 meg esi 32?
No problem. Simply load a Preset or Zone from the bank. You can
do this as many times as you like, till you run out of memory.Even those with SCSI equipped 2 meg machines will
have no problem using these samples and banks. Have a
maxed out E4 Ultra with 128 meg?
Cool. Load the Main bank and then load the presets from banks 21-26.
You will fill all 128 megs with unique samples and will have the most powerful
set of ms20 samples on the planet.

The main bank
is intuitively organized much like a sample playback synth. When you are
looking for a Kik, a Bass, a Noise, you will dial it up as easily as you would
on a modern synth.

I've had my
MS-20 over 10 years and have used it in many a production. Its strengths are
in its dynamic nature, its grit, its resonant High and Low pass filters
and its grungy, gutsy sound. Like with all old mono synths, you play it by holding
a note and twisting knobs. Those of you looking for these long, dynamic, fluid
and ever changing sounds will not be disappointed. And in your sampler
you will find these beautiful drones stacked, panned, filtered into majestic
analog chords that will sweep through your music in a way you have never heard
before. Your mix will be punctuated by real analog drum sounds, filtered and
articulated perfectly for a modern mix.

All sounds
on the CD-Rom originated from my MS-20. No one was ripped off. Once you
buy my CD, you can freely use any or all of these sounds in your music or film
project.

As a veteran
samplist, I know what most of you want and need. I'm not wasting your RAM with
lots of drum loops that most of you will want to make yourselves. What
you will get is all the elements to make your own loops, your own samples, your
own individual art..

What kind of Samples
Can I expect?

1. Raw Samplesdirect
off the MS-20. Rather than choose a few sounds and sample them chromatically,
I decided to go for diversity of sounds, including the wild and downright
weird as well as the pure static tones you usually get with sample collections.
You will get FAT and perfectly articulated filter loops, sweeps, dives,
bubbles, gurgles, zips, blips, and bonks. You will get a drum kit of analog
kicks, snares, hats, toms, chimes, claps, and bells. And lots more. Always
wondered where the techno-kings get their kit that sounds so industrial?
He-he. Wonder no more. You will find emulations of machines, elevators,
conveyor belts, electrical arcs, acid vats, factory whistles and tons more.
I used to work in several factories on the south side of Chicago Il USA
and I KNOW what a real world industrial factory sounds like.

2. FX Processed samples.Hey. I've got racks of stuff here. Its just too tempting.
I had to process some samples with reverb and my analog delay. Why tie up
your outboard gear when you can have a beautifully processed stereo sample
with the left/right thing just making the sound jump out of the speakers?

3. Resampled and Synth Processed samples.The first thing I did after recording my raw waveforms was
to put them in my ESI-32. Then I programmed them with the onboard synth,
mapping them across 88 keys, panned, enveloped, and pitched, with anywhere
between 2 and 176 sounds being in each key map. They sound so incredibly
deep, Always wanted to do Techno like the European dudes? Well, they
get those stuttering, aciduous sounds by playing with a resonant filter
and then running it though a square wave LFO. The AMP envelope will swell
and fade. Its kind of tricky on modern synths (doesn't really sound right
unless you have a real analog wave and a real good resonant filter).

4. Extra-Long Samplesfor you to load into your digital audio sequencer or into
an editor where you can hack them up and make new samples or just drop the
whole thing under a chorus and see what happens. I really put the
machine through its paces with every tweak and twiddle I could. Its
almost as good as having your own MS20, except you don't have to pay 500-1000
bucks for one.

5. Demo sequences.These are multi-timbral performances I sampled back in.
Not only to show off my sequenceship, but to give you complex material to
hack. Lots of new sounds are made by taking a tiny bit of a song and
looping it. Try it!

6. Totally contorted audio snipsrun through the ms-20. All these sounds were generated
by me or friends visiting the studio.

7. Electric Guitar run through the MS-20.Need a classic psychedelic guitar? There's a whopping
12 megs of guitar --over 30 samples. They were put through the hi
and low pass filters and modulated by the Ms20 "Modulation generator"--its
a frequency dependent LFO, in short, one of the best electronic wah-wah
sounds you will find

Note
that E3 and ESi 2.1 banks are compatible with the Esi32
(2.1&3.0, ESi 4000, ESi 2000, E4, E64, E3x, E6400 and E-Synth.
This includes the Ultra line This is the standard format
Emu uses on most of their CD Roms.

The EOS
Native banks will only load into Samplers using EOS.
That includes the E4, E64, E3x, E6400 and E-Synth and all the
ULTRAS. Note the Master Bank uses 586k of preset Ram.
If you have less preset RAM than that you can still load by
preset.Compatible with
EOS 4.7

Those with
less than 32 megs will be able to load presets and samples from
the large banks.

EOS4 will also
load ALL
of the EIII and ESi Banks You may have to do some
minor tweaking of some presets
as the import to EOS is not perfect.

So Who Is This
"TweakMeister" Guy Anyway?

A
little more about me. First,
I've done professional level programming for years. My credits
include work done one the Alesis QS7/8, and the Q-cards for those
machines. I've also am a beta tester for Emagic's Logic Audio; I've
been involved in the testing of the leading editor/librarian softwares,
and a tester for professional digital audio products and synths. I do custom sounds on demand for multimedia
developers, professional composers and hobbyists.
I am into strange and unusual sounds. I've heard them all, and I am
looking for gold. I crammed this CD with everything I need to break
the boundaries of sound creation. Every programmer has biases.
This is what you should really be asking before you buy any CD ROM.
My biases are for sounds that work with what is called Ambient and Techno-Trance
and Dance. I have an unusual need to create all kinds of environmental
sounds, as well as worldly drones, teknospheres, as well as drums and basses
that cut through the mix.
